While Joe Biden attacked Donald Trump over the key election issue of abortion rights Tuesday, the current US President was interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters demanding a ceasefire and an end to the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Protesters yelled "Genocide Joe has to go," interrupting him at least 10 times as he spoke in a Manassas, Virginia, rally which marked his first public campaigning event in the new year, alongside Vice President Kamala Harris.

Biden struggled to begin and proceed with his speech but managed to throw in a tasteless remark, as he dismissed demonstrators, saying, "This is going to go on for a while. They’ve got this planned.”

Pro-Palestinian activists held up the Palestinian flag and a banner calling for a ceasefire but were eventually forced out of the rally.

The rally itself was supposed to discuss abortion rights and legitimacy, but the disruption evinced a more profound issue affecting the elections; the Palestinian cause and the genocide in Gaza.

Joe Biden should never be able to finish a speech without being heckled and hounded ever again.

Will the genocidist be overthrown?

In an unsurprising turn of events, Biden's complicity in the killing of children in Gaza is backfiring against his chances of being re-elected.

Through his genocidal policies in the Middle East, the US President is actively losing votes and states.

David Haener, a Democrat from New Boston, Michigan, told CBS that Michigan voters are increasingly opposing Biden's reelection, affirming that his policies are dictating his losses and costing him the elections.

A December poll based in Michigan revealed that only 27% of Democratic voters are enthusiastic about Biden's reelection, while the rest would be satisfied or flat-out upset.
